Just completed my first run and feeling great! Amazed I managed to get through all the running bits without stopping. Looking forward to R2 but feeling a bit sore just now. Actually can't believe in 9 weeks I'll be running 30 mins non stop - crazy to think. I have booked at 5K run for Jan to motivate me to keep going right up until xmas :)

thank you so much :) yes defo getting off my ass and into my trainers was the hardest part but only gets easier from here right? feeling motivated! x

BIG welcome to the programme and the forum :D Yes I remember when I procrastinated so much in starting. After overcoming that hurdle, it got easier to get out and run. Best of luck on run 2 :) Keep posting

Nice one, bex!

I've done 2 runs so far, and like you have got my sights on a 5k event to have something to aim towards - I'm going to do a parkrun, either near home or my sister's around Christmas time (if she gets out the door to join C25K in the next few days :-)

Good luck with your running!
